Class 2A: Hennessey's Ivan Moreno, Levi Hill happy to share the spotlight

“We split the carries and like it that way,” Hill, a junior, said. “It's a lot of fun.

“It's a dream come true.”

Last year certainly was for the Eagles' running back tandem.

Moreno, a senior this year, ran for 1,425 yards and 13 touchdowns while also scoring four receiving touchdowns and recording 93 tackles and three interceptions.

Hill ran for 1,647 yards and 20 scores and had 56 tackles on defense.

Together, the duo played a huge part in lifting Hennessey to its first football state championship.

Other teams, especially at the 2A level where players play both ways, have running backs that tend to wear down as the game progresses.

With Moreno and Hill, there's always a fresh set of legs to turn loose.

“It takes a lot of pressure off,” Moreno said. “He's somebody that I can rely on when it comes to offense and defense.

“We just kind of take turns. We're not selfish. We don't care who gets the yards or who gets the touchdowns as long as the team is winning.”
